SuperAntiSpyware

How would you rate SuperAntiSpware? I would appreciate an early answer.

What is Super AntiSpyware?

Though I haven't personally tried Super AntiSpyware, I did a little research. Having not heard of this particular product before, I was initially suspicious. Is this one of those fake spyware programs? I wondered. After all, here at Filetonic, we hear of so many rogue programs pretending to be antivirus or antispyware programs when really they're imposters.

The company behind Super Antispyware is led by Nick Skrepetos who is also the brains behind SuperAdBlocker.com. The company offers Super AntiSpyware as a free edition for personal use, as a professional version (with a free trial version so that you can try before you buy), a portable edition, and an enterprise edition.

Super AntiSpyware Reviews

From what I've read, Super Antispyware has received favorable reviews. For example, PC Magazine gave Super AntiSpyware a "Good" rating back in 2008. It is also recommended by SpywareWarrior.com, a well-respected site that maintains a list of rogue antivirus and antispyware programs.

The Super AntiSpyware product has been downloaded nearly 140,000 times on CNET Downloads and has received a four out of five stars rating from users.

Recommendation

The Super AntiSpyware program appears to be a decent antispyware program and not a rogue program. However, you may want to compare its editions as the free edition doesn't offer the same level of protection as the paid edition. For example, the paid edition ($29.95) offers real-time blocking, automatic updates, and scheduling (all crucial features) while the free edition does not. Consider using the free edition as a backup antispyware tool or for removing existing spyware but not as a primary defense. After all, if the software isn't automatically updated with the latest definitions and doesn't provide real-time blocking, spyware can still sneak onto your system and cause harm.
